In the final hours of #PlasticsTreaty talks, the Chair has dropped a text. "This isn’t a treaty to end plastic pollution — it’s a gift to polluters." It's completely unacceptable. So, what’s next? @melissabluesky.bsky.social‬ explains.

"Petrostates are holding #PlasticsTreaty talks hostage. A minority threatens to block final negotiations. Countries should invoke their right to vote to ensure an ambitious agreement is reached." 👇 Read more

EU vs #Toxics ➡️ New rules for safer #Toys in the EU 🎉 🇪🇺 The Regulation will prohibit the use of chemicals that affect the hormonal system ( #EndocrineDisruptors) & ban dangerous bisphenols & #foreverchemicals #PFAS 🇺🇳 High time to make it global! #PlasticsTreaty #BecauseHormonesMatter #EDCFree

Tomorrow is the final negotiation on the revised EU Toy safety law, and a crucial opportunity to prevent harmful chemicals from being present in children’s toys. The law must include restrictions on #bisphenols and PFAS, the #foreverchemicals, to properly protect children’s health.

The hearings of the climate case #SaulvsRWE just ended in Hamm🇩🇪. By reaffirming the #PolluterPays principle, the Court shifted the legal dial, not just in Germany but worldwide: the era of holding major polluters accountable for climate harms has begun: www.ciel.org/news/rwe-vs-...

Today, @ec.europa.eu launched its #CleanIndustrialDeal But how "clean" can the deal really be when it FAILS to ⚠️ consider toxicity and pollution 🏭 address #plastics & petrochemicals, one of the highest emitting and polluting sectors Our reaction: rethinkplasticalliance.eu/news/without...

👏 Great news! 🇫🇷 Today French MPs voted to #BanPFAS from consumer products like clothing and cosmetics. Over 140,000 citizens called on their MPs to back the ban & this is a huge win for the protection of people’s health & environment in France. More in our news story: buff.ly/4bb9Vfb

Hi folks! I made a starter pack of #plastic scientists -- many of whom closely follow the #plasticstreaty negotiations. Check them out! go.bsky.app/QA29MA

Our new report shows how EU's proposal to restrict #PFAS is at risk of being hijacked, despite all evidence of its disastrous consequences We need a lobby firewall to protect PFAS decision-making from corporate lobbying Read it and sign the petition to #banPFAS👉 corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

Very interesting read and definitely worth your time. Industry actors employ false, dishonest and misleading claims to block or delay actions banning or restricting #PFAS. The #Plastics industry is a major player here. #PlasticsTreaty #INC5.2 foreverpollution.eu/lobbying/

The #ForeverLobbying Project exposes the real cost of #PFAS pollution on the environment, science, and politics. 46 journalists teamed up with 18 experts to investigate the worst pollution crisis humanity has ever faced, caused by the “poison of the century”. foreverpollution.eu/lobbying/

#PFAS, or forever chemicals, are widespread. Check out our new report which shows how EU’s proposed PFAS restriction is at serious risk of being hijacked by corporate lobbying. Read it here and sign the petition for a #ToxicFreeEurope 👉 corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

“Momentum is shifting. In a remarkable show of strength, countries united to insist the treaty include concrete measures to cut plastic production & ban the toxic chemicals that fuel this crisis." #PlasticTreaty talks in Busan have concluded, but negotiations will go on. 👇 Read more.

"Plastics are not convenient, they are a weapon of mass destruction. If we don’t get an ambitious treaty of Busan it will be a betrayal...history will not forgive us" Juan Carlos Monterrey of 🇵🇦 on the final day of #PlasticsTreaty talks.

Hold the line! Break free from brackets! #BreakFreeFromPlastic #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty #BeatPlasticPollution

Day 4, INC5 - Diplomacy #101 We're on Day 4 of the fifth (& final) negotiations, and delegates are still deciding what the mandate should include. Every clause that addresses plastic pollution across its lifecycle? Not in the mandate! #PlasticsTreaty #BeatPlasticPollution #INC5

BREAKING: @cielorg.bsky.social analysis of #PlasticsTreaty @unep.bsky.social participants list exposes that #FossilFuel and chemical industry 🏭 lobbyists taken together would be the largest single delegation at #INC5. READ 👇 www.ciel.org/news/inc-5-l...

Many are pushing for a "start and strengthen" approach to the #PlasticsTreaty. But this strategy comes with a number of risks. ⚠️ As @helionordeanzizu.bsky.social warns, a treaty without a solid foundation could fail over time. 👇 Watch to learn more. youtu.be/SshwpKV7Tbk

Will observer access at #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty improve today?

#PlasticsTreaty #INC5 "Transparency for #PlasticPollution in all stages of the plastics cycle means the public must have access to accurate and accessible #information on - #chemicals of concern in polymers & products - type & amounts of pollutants emitted/released - volumes of plastics produced"

On Monday, #PlasticPollution INC-5 begins in Korea This final scheduled round of talks should solidify new #plastic treaty text... but the outcome is far from certain Our #INC5 team leader Tallash Kantai shares what to expect

Just 2 weeks until the final scheduled #PlasticsTreaty negotiation. We've prepared a menu of resources for #INC5 to explore: 📝 What the Chair’s 3rd nonpaper means ⏳ What can/can’t be saved for a COP 🎯 What elements the treaty should include ...much more 🤓 Happy reading! bit.ly/4hEDIQq
